Here is the government's statement concerning the Military Justice System Modernization Act. We'll have more on the changes in due course.
"A key reform removes Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) investigative and prosecutorial jurisdiction over Criminal Code sexual offences committed in Canada, while retaining jurisdiction outside of Canada. This change is intended to simplify processes for victims, reduce confusion caused by overlapping systems, and provide greater independence from the chain of command in sensitive cases. It marks a deliberate step in the continued evolution of the military justice system to strengthen clarity, confidence, and trust."
